In a recent blog by an author of a book on Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis said the following:

“Most patients with Hashimoto’s and hypothyroidism will have weight gain, acid reflux, nutrient deficiencies, anemia, leaky gut, food allergies and adrenal insufficiency. Symptoms of impaired digestion, absorption, anxiety, chronic-fatigue and environmental allergies may be seen as well.

While conventional medicine only looks at each body system as a separate category, and isn’t concerned with the thyroid’s ability to produce thyroid hormone, Hashimoto’s is more than just hypothyroidism.”

What Dr. Dean wants to make clear is that these symptoms are not all about the thyroid at all. The underlying cause of Hashimoto’s is likely yeast overgrowth and mineral deficiency. To say it’s all about the thyroid is a huge distraction and avoids healing the underlying cause.

This topic is very important and it’s why Dr. Dean is writing a booklet about it to remind people to keep digging for the root cause of their problems.

Tonight on our internet based radio show, we’ll be talking with Dr. Carolyn Dean about Magnesium, Minerals and the Thyroid along with a wide range of health topics and safe solutions. You will love hearing the beneficial interactions with our callers and hosts alike including the body/mind connection, identifying the ‘conflict’ in the ‘conflict basis’ of disease and much more!!

Anxiety can affect our lives dramatically. In a time when our society is more stressed than ever before, feelings of anxiety have become an everyday occurrence in many people’s lives. Because of this, natural anxiety remedies are more relevant than ever. Magnesium, a vital mineral nutrient, is perhaps one of the most important natural anxiety remedies because of its effectiveness, record of safe use, availability and value.

That’s why magnesium is one of the most popular choices for anxiety relief. And, with a therapeutic brand like Dr. Dean’s Pico-meter ReMag Magnesium Solution, you have several advantages that prescription medications simply do not. These include:

Simple to Use - Magnesium is a wonderful effective solution for people who occasionally need help or relief from anxiety and stress. ReMag is easy to purchase, causes no side effects, has no addiction risk, and can be moderated simply and effectively.

Our increasing reliance on prescription medications has contributed to the growing problem with nutrient depletion. The truth is that every medication, including over-the-counter drugs, depletes your body of specific, vital nutrients. This is especially concerning when you consider that most Americans are already suffering from nutrient depletion and many of the conditions physicians see in their everyday practice may actually be related to nutrient depletion to begin with.

Most every day our customer service representatives talk with customers who are interested in our products because they have read The Magnesium Miracle or Invisible Minerals Part I and II and they are starting to figure out that their fatigue, anxiety, depression, insomnia or heart palpitations are related to nutrient deficiencies.

Tonight on Live with Dr Carolyn Dean we have a great show and great content talking about how to balance the use of pharmaceutical medicines with a powerful protocol of minerals and amino acids plus much more!

Elderly people in the United States represent an emerging high risk group for nutritional deficiencies. A magnesium deficit in the elderly can occur due to inadequate nutrient intakes, multiple drug use, altered gastrointestinal function and/or frequent urination. Magnesium has been targeted as a risk factor for elderly people and has been implicated in the aging process.

Aging in our industrialized society is associated with high blood pressure, heart disease, reduced insulin sensitivity and Type 2 diabetes, among other degenerative diseases. Most of us don\'t know that aging is also associated with an imbalance in the levels of calcium and magnesium and dozens of other minerals almost identical with those found in people with heart disease and diabetes. Clinical studies thoroughly document the fact that people with insulin resistance (a characteristic of Type 2 diabetes) have too much calcium and too little magnesium in their cells. Interestingly, these same effects are seen as the results of \"normal\" aging. That fact suggests that the disturbance of calcium and magnesium ions in the cells might be the missing link for the multiple diseases associated with aging. Other clinical research shows magnesium deficiency may increase our susceptibility to heart disease and accelerate the debility of aging.

One study of nursing home residents linked low magnesium levels and two conditions that commonly plague the elderly: diabetes and calf cramps. And another study showed that people who reached the age of 100 had higher total body magnesium levels-and lower calcium levels-than the average person.

The human body\'s ability to absorb magnesium declines with age, so elderly people who do not eat an adequate diet and those who use prescription drugs that deplete the body\'s magnesium are at risk. (Studies show that the average senior citizen takes six to eight prescription medications a day!) Antacids, taken by many older people to cover up symptoms of a poor diet, is a strong brew of calcium and aluminum that depletes magnesium and adds to the neurological burden of the elderly.

Several studies show that severe neurological problems result from extremely low levels of magnesium in the brain that can be caused by the chronic use of diuretics, which millions of people use to control high blood pressure. A diuretic, usually the first line treatment for high blood pressure specifically drains potassium as well as magnesium from the body. Most doctors prescribe potassium to replace the loss but forget about magnesium.

Tonight on LIVE with Dr Carolyn Dean we\'ll be talking about how to help our elderly parents and family members with great mineral supplementation as well as a great exchange with Dr. Dean and Denise about her withdrawal from gabapentin and pristiq in hour 2.

It\\\'s no secret that there are many ways to heal the body and the mind. There is the physical approach, the spiritual approach, and the mental approach. Holistic healing includes the body, mind and the non-physical. Often when an individual experiences a challenge of body or mind they may start with one or two different therapies and then branch out into complimentary disciplines that contribute to continuously feeling better and better. For example, take back pain. Low back pain effects over 35% of American\\\'s and can be a serious problem for people especially when it comes to lost time from work. Sometimes finding a great chiropractor can be the beginning of recovering from back injury but as the back in healing, what can be done about the back pain itself? Clinical experience, as well as research in nerve pain conditions such as pancreatic cancer, has shown that magnesium can be an effective treatment for pain. Although it is clear why magnesium can decrease muscle pain (it makes muscles relax), why it would help nerve pain has become equally clear and beneficial for people who suffer with pain.

A major mechanism of pain is the excessive stimulation of a brain chemical called “NMDA.” The few medications that help decrease and balance this pain-carrying neurotransmitter have the downside of causing significant side effects. But, guess what? Magnesium seems to settle down NDMA without the toxicity! For an especially powerful effect, a therapeutic magnesium like ReMag can be used to get substantial and beneficial amount of magnesium into the body to settle down muscles and nerves! Tonight on LIVE with Dr Carolyn Dean we\\\'ll be discuss this and much more!

Magnesium deficiency is very common in people with heart disease. In hospitals where doctors understand the important of magnesium, it is administered for acute myocardial infarction and cardiac arrhythmia. Like any other muscle, the heart requires magnesium. Magnesium is also used to treat angina, or chest pain. The epidemic of heart disease in women may have its origins in the excessive intake of medically prescribed calcium. In fact, several studies in the British Medical Journal (BMJ) recently proved that very thing. Women who take calcium supplements have a higher risk of heart disease as calcium deposits in their arteries. When heart muscle cells have too much calcium on the inside, they can go into a life-threatening spasm that we call “heart attack”. When they have enough magnesium, the heart muscle cells relax.
